Audio only as PCM 2.0 and 5.1, not as described by Amazon While a Blu-ray content provider is free to choose the audio codec/s for their own disc, I found the lack of legacy Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1 a negative considering that the only way surround PCM can be received by an A/V receiver or pre/pro is via HDMI, a feature not present in millions of legacy A/V receivers (which use optical/coax digital inputs for legacy DD and DTS lossy codecs).
Additionally, the only way one could find this out is by actually ordering the disc, because Amazon product specification is misleading and incorrect, which is a common problem in Amazon.
Regarding the content itself, I concur with the statements others have made about Maria being overweight, boringly walking around the stage for the entire show, and the songs not as melodic and nice as they use to be.
On the positive side, the price for a Blu-ray title at 1080i is reasonable compared to what a CD two-channel would be, and we know that prices will still come down.

A must for Mariah Carey fans I have only watched a tiny bit of this Blu Ray. So far, it has lived to its hype. My wife have seen the entire thing and the reason why I didn't gave it a five star is I compared it to Celine Dion's A New Day Blu Ray. This does not have the behind the scenes like Celine does. Other than that, the concert is great (based from the bits and pieces of what I've seen).
The Up and down Adventures Of Mimi She still has the ooomph !!! Gone thru the ups and downs of popularity. Everything goes in cycles. Concert is the story of her life...
YAWN!! I've seen this DVD and nearly fell asleep! I couldn't believe how lifeless her show was! She didn't do anything but wobble around on high heels! No wonder she didn't sell out all her shows! ...and she is SO FAT! I HIGHLY recommend Madonna's Confessions tour DVD!!....THAT WAS A GOOD SHOW!!!
wrong regio code Unfortunately I havent seen anything, because you sent me this blue-ray dvd with a wrong regio code , so my playstation3 wasn't able to play it back. Surprisingly, the other one (I've ordered an other dvd (Shakira) at the same time) was good.
Why you didn't mention the need for choosing the regio code during the ordering process? Would you be so kind to send me an other one with the good regio code? Thanks in advance Csaba Bartos
